"Research conducted since the 1980s by the national cancer institute has found that workers exposed to benzene, even at relatively low levels, have lower levels of white blood cells. Currently, the national cancer institute states that exposure to benzene may increase the risk of developing leukemia. • Laundry Detergent and other household cleaners also contain chemicals that are suspected to be carcinogens. Trisodium nitriotriacetate (NTA) is found in many laundry soaps and is a suspected human carcinogen." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"In 1984 the director of the national cancer institute told Congress that the death rate from cancer could be cut in half by 2000. But two years later, an article published in New England Journal of Medicine, coauthored by a statistician from the national cancer institute, concluded just the opposite: Cancer death rates were going up, and "we are losing the war against cancer." There have been a few tremendous successes in this war, notably with some of the childhood cancers, testicular cancer, Hodgkin's disease, and leukemia." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Jakowlew and co-investigators of the national cancer institute, Medicine Branch, in Rockville, Maryland, have shown that one of the ways the powerful cancer-causing agent urethane exerts its toxic effects is to stimulate the body's production of TGF-p. They note, "TGF-beta may play an important role" in lung cancer. Dr. Y. Vodovotz and co-researchers wrote in Cancer Research, "Tumor cells often produce abundant transforming growth betal (TGF-betal)..." Meanwhile, Dr. C." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"We see a reckless indifference to them on the part of many industries, federal institutions, and organizations, including the multibilhon-dollar mainstream cosmetics and personal care products industry; powerful global trade associations backed by paid "scientists"; governmental institutions, particularly the National Cancer Institute; and cancer "charities," particularly the American Cancer Society, along with similar cancer establishments worldwide." - Samuel S.

"In my professional opinion, and according to the national cancer institute," said Dr. Devra Davis, the director of the Center for Environmental Oncology at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, "inherited risk accounts for fewer than one in ten cases of cancer. That means nine out of ten children who get cancer were born with perfectly healthy genes, but something has happened to them—sometimes prenatally—that gives them the disease. "Only 10 percent of cancers are due to genes that we are born with," Dr. Davis told me, "which is a very small percentage." According to Robert N." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Currently, the national cancer institute states that exposure to benzene may increase the risk of developing leukemia. • Laundry Detergent and other household cleaners also contain chemicals that are suspected to be carcinogens. Trisodium nitriotriacetate (NTA) is found in many laundry soaps and is a suspected human carcinogen. Toilet bowl cleaners can contain ethoxylated nonyl phenols, which are suspected endocrine disrupters. Silica, which is present in abrasive powder cleaners, is a known carcinogen. • Phthalates are widely used to make plastics and in personal care products." - Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.)

"Simone, a former clinical associate in immunology and pharmacology at the national cancer institute, said, "Mammograms increase the risk for developing breast cancer and raise the risk of spreading or metastasizing an existing growth." • After reviewing 117 studies conducted between 1966 and 2005, an expert panel from the American College of Physicians (ACP), found the data on mammography screening for women in their 40s are so unclear that the effectiveness of reducing breast cancer death could be either 15% or " ... nearly zero." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.) "The American Cancer Society, the national cancer institute, the American Medical Association (AMA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the major oncology centers all feel threatened by the successes of alternative cancer therapies. Of course, this is not difficult to understand, given the high failure rate (93%) of medical therapies." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Hoover of the national cancer institute, the remaining 80 to 90 percent are triggered by environmental exposures. Susan Sencer, who directs the integrative cancer care program at Children's Hospitals and Clinics, Minneapolis-St. Paul, mentioned the "Knudson theory" of cancer causation. She explained: "This theory states that many cancers, and especially childhood cancers, take at least two hits—meaning you could be genetically predisposed but you must also have at least one other exposure to develop cancer. It's not enough to be born with the genes—you must also take at least one other hit." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Malignant glioma is the most common primary brain tumor, accounting for more than half of the 18,000 primary malignant brain tumors diagnosed each year in the United States, according to the national cancer institute. • Prolonged cell phone use may damage sperm in male users, suggests a study by researchers at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine at Case Western Reserve University, Ohio. The discovery was made during an ongoing study of 51,000 male health professionals in the United States." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Michael Friedman, then associate director for the Cancer Therapy Evaluation Program at the national cancer institute, invited Dr. Gonzalez to present selected cases from his practice as part of an NCI effort to evaluate non-traditional cancer therapies. As noted in his interview, Dr. Gonzalez presented 25 patients with poor prognosis or terminal illness who had either enjoyed long-term survival or tumor regression while following his program. After the session, Dr." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "In regard to cancer and immune-system health, a scientific review conducted by the National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Complementary and Alternative Medicine (OCCAM) noted the effects from individual herbs used in the Flor-Essence formula to include the following: • Protection against cellular damage ?Anticarcinogenic • Induction of apoptosis of tumor cells ?Immuno-modulator • Antitumor ?Anti-inflammatory • Free radical scavenging activity ?Antiestrogenic The Herbs The formula's eight herbs have traditionally been viewed as cleansing and strengthening herbs." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.) "His success resulted in a grant by the national cancer institute (NCI) to conduct clinical trials with enzymes for cancer treatment. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2000 also granted orphan drug status to a systemic enzyme supplement. Studies using systemic enzymes as an adjuvant therapy for multiple myeloma (cancer of the B cells in the blood) showed promising results. Since 1977, systemic enzymes have been used with success for chemotherapy patients in Europe. CLINICAL CASES In excess of 160 clinical studies support the efficacy of systemic enzyme therapies." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Eventually, the national cancer institute sponsored a study to determine Laetrile's effectiveness. They found nothing. The New EnglandJournal of Medicine declared that "the evidence, beyond reasonable doubt, is that it doesn't benefit patients with advanced cancer, and there is no reason to believe that it would be any more effective in the earlier stages of the disease." As a result, the sale of Laetrile was banned, and some of its marketers incarcerated. It continues to be sold online from clinics in Tijuana." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Even a casual reading of data provided by the national cancer institute paints a wholly different picture. As detailed in its "Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2004," while there has been a major decrease in the incidence of lung cancer, other categories of cancers reveal alarming increases over the past three decades: • Acute childhood leukemia has increased by 64 percent. • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has increased by 55 percent. • Acute adult leukemia has increased by 44 percent. • Childhood brain cancer has increased by 39 percent. • Testes cancer has increased by 32 percent." - Samuel S.

"According to the national cancer institute (NCI Journal 87:10), patients who underwent chemotherapy were 14 times more likely to develop leukemia and 6 times more likely to develop cancers of the bones, joints, and soft tissues than those patients who did not undergo chemotherapy. Yet if you have a child with lymphoma and refuse treatment for the above well-documented reasons, you face prosecution by the law, and your child may be taken away from you." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"This information is available to all through the National Cancer Institute's Web portal, through its SEER Cancer Statistics Review. By comparison, the 23.5 million patients who suffer from autoimmune diseases do not claim megabytes in cyberspace in any national database. Physicians are not required to report who has autoimmune disease to any national registry, because no national registry exists. The data we do have is based on small epidemiological studies from which experts have extrapolated as best they can." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"CANCER: In a study that evaluated the top ten vegetables consumed in the United States, yellow onions were the third highest in phenolic (a type of antioxidant) content and were fourth highest in anticancer-growth activity. The national cancer institute has found that onions have a modest level of cancer-protective activity. LUNG CANCER: Onions are rich in the phytochemical quercetin, which has been shown to have beneficial effects against lung cancer. A case-controlled study of 582 subjects found that people who increased their onion consumption decreased their risk of developing cancer." - David W.

"NON-HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA (NHL): A national cancer institute study found that higher intakes of vegetables that contain lutein and zea-xanthin, such as spinach, are associated with a lower NHL risk. CATARACTS: A cohort study of 36,644 United States male health professionals found that spinach intake was correlated with a lower risk of developing cataracts. NEUROPROTECTIVE: Rats who had suffered brain damage and were fed a spinach diet showed a reduction in damaged tissue and increased brain function.

"In the late nineties, Roy Hertz, then director of endocrinology at the national cancer institute and a leading authority on hormonal cancers, warned of the carcinogenic risks of estrogenic additives, which can cause imbalances in natural hormone levels. Pesticides and plastics. Chemical pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides are routinely applied to mass-produced fruits and vegetables. In addition, most people routinely use bug sprays, weed killers, and other pesticides in their homes and yards." - C. W.

"Though a large population study called CAROT showed that smokers who ingest beta-carotene supplements were more prone to lung cancer, a study from the national cancer institute found that lung cancer occurrence was higher in men whose diets did not supply a healthy intake of alpha-carotene. DIABETES: Human research suggests that eating foods rich in carotenoids, like carrots, may aid in making insulin more effective, thus improving blood-glucose control." - David W.

"Three months after the "consensus panel" published its report, the national cancer institute reversed its stand and recommended mammographic screening for women forty to forty-nine years old. For those of us who are students of Karl Popper, this saga is dramatic but predictable. There are many, in many constituencies, committed to inculcating mammography into American life. This is the stand of the American news media in the 1990s, as documented by a published analysis of the coverage. Science is no match for such advocacy." - Nortin M.

"Donald Larsen, a research biochemist and founding member of the national cancer institute, served as head of the cancer research grants program at the National Institutes of Health in 1955, he walked into medical laboratory settings every day that, world over, boasted little more than test tubes, microscopes, and Bunsen burners. As a young thirty-eight-year-old scientist in 1939, he had already become world renowned for being the first to demonstrate that cancer-causing chemicals could pass through the placenta and later cause tumors in offspring." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)
